You ain’t kidding brother!
As of today, I've been beating on this roll pan for about a week, getting it ready for louvers. [ATTACH]
I even have a glove box. [ATTACH]
The dash took a fair amount of time, warped, rusty, extra holes, but it turned out pretty decent. [ATTACH]
Then I mocked up the hood, and cut it to length. I'm waiting on some donor pieces to fill the hole. [ATTACH]
DONE! [ATTACH]
The bottom was still pretty rough. [ATTACH]
Everything tacked, time to finish weld. [ATTACH]
I worked in sections, starting at the bottom, carefully cutting to size and tig welding. [ATTACH]
Now I just need to get this mess to fit back in the whole. [ATTACH]
After taking four inches out of the middle, I knew this was not going to work unless I bolted it all down to a to the workbench, and added a strip...
Then I needed to figure out how much of a chop the grill would get, it needed a lot. I settled on 4 inches. [ATTACH]
The top piece looks pretty good, width wise. [ATTACH]
